Branch-first arch replacement is a method for aortic arch repair that allows for continuous brain and organ perfusion. It theoretically has the potential for improved outcomes by reducing or avoiding circulatory arrest and maintaining warmer temperatures. 

This technique was pioneered by George Matalanis and others in  2005. This presentation focused on the technical aspects of this procedure, including a how-to video.
